5 killed, 10 injured as Rangers clash with tribals
2003-08-23
Five people belonging to the Mir Jan Chakrani and Bagh Ali Chakrani tribes were killed and ten injured in an encounter with Rangers in the border areas near Kashmore, said Rangers Colonel Shahid on Friday. “Five tribesmen were also killed and ten injured in an operation against terrorists involved in rupturing the main gas transmission line in the jurisdiction of the Bakhshapur Police Station on Wednesday,” said Col Shahid. “The Rangers also destroyed a Russian-made landmine laid by tribesmen in the border area,” Col Shahid also said. Kashmore District Police Officer Sahib Shah said the police have wanted those involved in the incident for involvement in more than 50 cases of murders, kidnapping for ransom, and attacks on government installations and the police.
But... But... What about respecting their quaint tribal customs?
